"We were in a fight," Matt says, "and it's fairly close; no more than 50 to 75 meters between all of us. And while the rounds are flying, a donkey -- I kid you not -- a fucking donkey runs into the middle of the firefight and takes a RPG [i.e., gets exploded by a rocket]. And everybody stops. Everybody -- us and the Taliban. Everyone went, 'Huh?' and looked at each other, then back at the donkey, and then started shooting again. But there was a good three seconds where everything stopped."

I have had a vision. It has been revealed to me by the secret chiefs of the world that I am sexier than Buddha and harder than Jesus. I cannot die.Joan (requesting my drawings): I'LL PAY YOUIN ORAL SEEEXParagon: I will literally pay you in oral sex if you go on a call and sing that entire song [Little Girls by Oingo Boingo] for us and record itScream: Welp guess its my turn to owe Max a IOU blowjobParagon: I think Max is rapidly becoming the new pimp of PAShane: Max for realest nigga of 2013TigerEyes: No means yes and yes means anal.

The sex between Cersei and Jaime at Joffrey's bedside has been changed to rape. Martin defended it.

What's the point?! Why?!

To be fair, I won't say he defended it as much as.... Didn't say it was a bad change?

If the show had retained some of Cersei's dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression -- but that dialogue was very much shaped by the circumstances of the books, delivered by a woman who is seeing her lover again for the first time after a long while apart during which she feared he was dead. I am not sure it would have worked with the new timeline.

That's really all I can say on this issue. The scene was always intended to be disturbing... but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons.

"The viewing public's become desensitized to incest and rape. Now how will we boost the ratings!?"

"We'll do both- at the same time!"

"GENIUS"

Um...no.

I didn't even know this forum existed. But now I do, I am going to say one thing: Grandma Tyrell is the fucking bomb. I love that woman so much. I'm hoping she makes more appearances in the series.

I don't get the Sansa hate really. She's trapped in enemy territory, and is forced to marry a member of the family that executed her father, and not to mention her mother and brother were killed, and she assumes her sister is dead as well. What else is she gonna do? She can't do much but survive, or find some way out of there. I personally admire Sansa for getting up everyday and greet the dude that killed her dad. I guess it's just me.

Also, I've watched Joffrey's death about thirty times, and it's still enjoyable.

"Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from."

Adding an incest/rape scene to boost ratings? That's bound to drop ratings and lost viewers, using common sense. Unless you're referring to getting the show talked about a lot like when Family Guy killed Brian, but Game of Thrones is already talked about so much, almost as much as Breaking Bad.

So...yeah. Pretty good finale. Book purist tears will sustain me until season 5.

Also I have a huge man-crush on Pedro Pascal nowI actually like the show adaption of Oberyn way more than in the book.
